I am reading his book Mind beyond death now! I can't tell you how much I like it. It changed my life...Everyone should readt it...the best thing you can do to yourself
Easy to listen to ... and pleasant. How we finally grasped fascist oratory: individual persons were moved, and pleased, even when what was said disagreed with their opinions. Perhaps being seduced is not actually the gateless gate? KyeHo ... so much learning, so little wisdom. _KC:_
I've got a big respect for Tibetan Buddhism. I think that there are many strong teachings in Vajrayana. But at the same time i don't think that westerners are ready for that vehicle. In my opinion you must build from the floor up. People who are born in a Vajrayana family are raised in that psychological colorful environment. Whit much shamanistic and complex symbolic influences. I don't think that's wrong or something.
Of course the Bodhisattva perspective is important. But again the frequent materialized western person need the stairs of the eightfold path and the insight of the four noble truth's. With a Judeo/ Christian background a lot of the vajrayana teachings can be too confusing for people. While the Dhammapada is Crystal clear. Sorry for my bad English. Greetings from the Netherlands.
But westerners have a huge need for the fundamentals. In my opinion the words in the Dhammapada are much more important to lay a strong foundation than the Bardo teachings. Because the original Dhammapada text is much more straightforward and less complicated than the Bardo thodol. And if you analyze the dhammapada well you gain the same results with a much stronger bases in the buddhist fundamentals.

He is extremely easy to listen to, very profound and deep at the same time. Thank you for posting this.

Muy profunda reflexion acerca de la negacion a la muerte, como una causa universal de sufrimiento, realizada de una manera clara y sencilla.
Love you, Rinpoche. Hope to see you soon.
Hi I cannot watch this video it properly ... is it in good shape? It gets cut, stops, and the image often goes into an abstract painting,
part 1. the more we fear death the more we over-react to little things and allow them to torture us, in proportion to our suppressed fear.
